I
have
been
shopping
at
the
Barger
Ave.,
Eugene,
Oregon
Winco
since
it
opened.
Before
that,
I
shopped
there
when
it
was
called
Waremart-
at
the
corner
of
Garfield
and
West
11th
in
Eugene.
Winco
is
not
going
to
give
you
a
pretentious
boutique
grocery
experience
like
Market
of
Choice
or
Safeway
will.
It
doesn’t
pretend
to
be
anything
other
than
it
is:
an
employee
owned
warehouse
grocery
store.
You
can
pay
with
debit
card,
check,
or
cash.
They
will
not
take
credit
cards.
You
also
have
to
bag
your
own
groceries.
This
is
part
of
the
reason
that
they
are
able
to
offer
dramatically
lower
prices
than
any
other
grocery
store
in
the
Eugene
area.
Another
convenient
feature
is
the
fact
that
they
are
open
24
hours
a
day.
So
no
matter
what
shift
you
work,
you
can
go
to
Winco
and
get
your
grocery
shopping
done
ANY
time
of
day.
Another
unique
feature
of
Winco
is
the
massive
bulk
section.
I’ve
checked,
almost
every
single
time
on
every
single
item
in
the
bulk
section
that
I
buy
I
save
significantly
over
prepackaged
items
and
products,
and
I
also
really
appreciate
being
able
to
buy
the
exact
amount
I
wish
to
have.
They
have
a
decent
bulk
spice
section
that
I
just
love.
Huge
savings
to
buy
my
herbs
and
spices
that
way.
Also,
they
have
a
great
selection
of
bulk
roasted
coffee,
Red
Brick
brand.
The
last
time
I
looked
it
was
$6.98
a
pound.
That’s
an
ACTUAL
16
oz.
pound,
not
the
pre-pack
12
ounce
packages
that
any
brand
of
coffee
is
now
generally
packed
in.
You
can
buy
whole
bean
and
grind
it
right
there
in
their
machines,
or
take
it
home
and
grind
it
in
your
own
grinder.
You
can
also
buy
red
brick
coffee
prepackaged
and
pre-ground…
And
I’m
pretty
sure
their
pre-packed
coffees
are
12
ounces
but
I
can’t
swear
to
that.
If
you
go
at
peak
shopping
time
which
would
probably
be
starting
at
about
2:30
pm
and
running
until
about
7
pm,
it
can
be
pretty
congested.
But
if
you
shop
outside
those
times,
it’s
not
bad...
oh,
also,
I
try
to
avoid
doing
my
grocery
shop
at
Winco
on
or
around
the
first
of
the
month,
and
especially
on
a
Sunday.
It’s
a
madhouse
then.
Whatever
annoyances
there
are
about
the
atmosphere
of
shopping
at
Winco
or
perhaps
the
crowds/traffic
congestion
at
peak
times,
the
savings
makes
it
worth
it
to
walk
in
there
and
get
the
shopping
done.
You
will
save
money,
and
it
will
be
a
significant
savings.
The
sale
banners
below
were
taken
by
me
in
March
2021
at
a
local
Winco.
These
are
examples
of
the
kind
of
pricing
you
can
find
at
Winco.
